Forget What You Know About SUVs: The 10 to Buy Right Now

The Slinky Wagonette: Maserati Levante

The Maserati Levante, which made its first public appearance earlier this month at the Geneva Auto Show, is shaped like a Porsche Cayenne but supposedly infused with Italian charisma, capitalizing on an underserved market for Italian crossover ‘utes. Maserati will offer a duo of 3.0-liter turbo V-6 engines, and the most potent one will produce 430 Cayenne-slaying horsepower. There might be a plug-in hybrid Levante on the way, too. Stay tuned for the Levante’s eventual launch.
